Asked By:Sore eyes in Auckland, NZ

Hi doc please don’t tell me to get seen I want your opinion on this. So I had a bit of botox under my eyes and forehead so I couldn’t really blink at all for months till it wearer off the only time my eyes shut were when I slept or forced myself to blink anyway my question is from not blinking much at all in months would that cause the meimobian glands to block? Because mine have and I’ve never had dry eyes or eyes problems before please tell me what you think guys. Thanks a bunch.
